[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It really does seem like a good number of the Yu Ying and Basis bashers are private school parents justifying their choices.  It gets really old, hearing, "Just you wait and see!"  Maybe things will change.  Maybe Basis will figure something new out in DC.

I wish only the best for these schools even though we expect to chose other schools for our kids.

However, the Basis boosters saying, "Basis isn't for everyone" also bug me.  Because actually it is.  Whether it likes it or not.

I'm planning on keeping my ADHD GT kid away from Basis, but believe me there are parents whose kids have way bigger challenges than mine who are at Basis right now.  And it is the legal duty of the school to serve them.   The school's very survival depends on this.  [/quote]

"Basis isn't for everyone" isn't about Basis.

Face it, most of the charters aren't for everyone.  Latin isn't a good fit for lots of students, immersion schools like Yu Ying or Mundo Verde aren't for everyone, Options is for troubled kids, St. Colettas is for disabled kids, and so on.  DCPS isn't a good fit for lots of students, either - which is precisely why so many charters have popped up, they are serving more specialized demand.  So if it "bugs you" and you are going to question Basis on that score, then frankly you have to question every single school in the city on that same premise.[/quote]
